Multiple Services and Appointment Types

Koalendar lets you create multiple services and appointment types within a single booking system, each with its own duration, availability, and rules. This makes it easy to offer different kinds of meetings or services on your WordPress website without juggling multiple calendars or tools. Visitors simply choose the service they need and book an appointment online that fits your schedule.

For example, a service based business such as a wellness studio, repair service, or local professional can create appointment types like initial visits, recurring services, or premium sessions, each with its own time length and booking rules, making it easy for customers to schedule the right service directly from the website.

Group Bookings and Classes

Koalendar makes it easy to manage group bookings and classes directly from your WordPress website. You can allow multiple attendees to book the same session, set participant limits, and keep everything organized in one scheduling system.

This is ideal for workshops, coaching programs, fitness or wellness classes, and training sessions, where multiple people need to book the same time slot while you stay in control of capacity and availability.

Custom Automations and Reminders (included in PRO plan)

Send personalized confirmation and reminder emails before each appointment or meeting. This helps keep clients informed, reduces no shows, and saves time spent on manual follow ups.

Custom Booking Forms (included in PRO plan)

Collect additional information at the time of booking, such as contact details, service preferences, or special requests. This is especially useful for service businesses that need context before an appointment.

Payments (included in PRO plan)

Accept online payments for appointments and services directly through your booking system. Charge for consultations, classes, or sessions in advance to simplify billing and secure bookings before they happen.

Installation

The plugin is simple to install from wordpress.org:

  1. Visit https://wordpress.org/plugins/ and search for ‘Koalendar’
  2. Install the plugin
  3. Go to the plugin management page and enable it

This creates the [koalendar] tag to embed Koalendar into the page. Usage:
[koalendar link=”YOUR-BOOKING-PAGE-LINK”]

  1. Create a free account at Koalendar.com
  2. Create a booking page.
  3. Get your booking page link to paste into the [koalendar] tag by clicking “Share” next to the booking page, and “Copy link”.

Options:
link: your booking page (required)
width: defaults to 100% (optional)
height: defaults to 660px (optional)

We recommend adding the tag in text mode instead of visual to prevent other formatting of the URL being inadvertently added. Support is available at https://help.koalendar.com/
